I spent a lot of time thinking about what to write to introduce this issue. For the first time we are offering content based solely on our annual conference; sharing the presentations that were popular, that the conference chairs deemed worthy of a journal article, and just those we thought interesting. So much happens at the annual conference that it needs to be shared with everyone.

Lots of exciting things are going on behind the scenes here at Colorado Libraries! To name but a few here in our introduction to issue 35.3, we have a new editor; we'll be integrating the online book reviews back into future issues of the journal; we have great new column suggestions from our readership; we have an eISSN; we have some great improvements to the journal platform in development; and our readership has expanded globally.

This issue has been nearly two years in the making, and Melissa Powell and I are all at once excited and relieved to present it to you! Our everlasting gratitude goes out to Paul Betty, the guest editor, as well as all of the authors and column editors who have been patient as we have transitioned from print to online. The full story of the transition is available on the "Why Open Access?" page.
